From passenger on q Denver and Rio
Grande train Republican reporter was last
evening informed of e thrilling escape made
by convict on his way to the peuitentiary
some days ago. The gentleman who wit
messed the escape characterizes it as the
most daring feat imaginable. The fellow in
question WAS chained to companion, both
bound to the dreaded penitentisry, with the
uninviling prospect of serving out dreary

shackled and gave him little upeasiness.
Their behavior was not conducive TO dis.
trust, and until the train had passed Pueblo
their conduct was irreproachable. How

men formed sudden resolve to escape. 1t

with a recklessness born of an intense desire
for freedom from his hated shsckles. Quiet

clanking, walked slowly to the closet in the
rear of the car. They entered, and with o
suddenness that surprised his mate one ofthe
men shattered the single pane of glass and
leaped through the window. The shscSles
were strong and refused to part. Thus su5,

The Residents Of Dubuque Indignant
Over the Proposed Removal

The general managers of the various
roads interested in the rates between
Chicago and Council Bluffs have been
in consultation for several days consid-
ering what is to he done in regard to
the notification of the Milwaukee Il St.
Paul road that it would reduce the grain
rates between Omaha. and Council
Bluffs and Chicago to 10 cents per 100
pounds. Of course, all the other roads
were opposed to this reduction. The
Milwaukee & st. Paul urged that in
view of the fact that owing to the oppo-
sition of the Burlington & Northern it
had been found impossible to maintain
higher rate than ~ cents on grain
and flour from Minneapolis to Chicago.
it considered it unjust and unreasona-
BILE to maintain 20-cent rate on grain
from Omaha to Chicago. The latter
road finally concluded to postpone ac-
ton regarding the proposed reduction
until December 10, and agreed to give
five days notice if it then decides to
make a reduction.

are actively buying Cincinnati, Hamil-

the Emerys, who own the Dayton IL

The day of the construction account"
is ended. The Central is not yet
justified in increasing the rate of
dividend as the Pennsylvania has done,
but, if its directors choose to do so. it
may very properly crafty its stCckhold-
erS by the declaration of an extra divi-
dend of l per cent. This would not
make much more than half of the cash
surplus, over and above dividends, which
it has on hand. The business of the
year would warrant it, and the pros
poets of the coming year fOreShadOw
one or two more dividends of the same
sort.
The Erie railroad, under the manage,
ment of John King, is, to all intentS and
purposes, rebuilt from one end to thei
other, with curves Strengthened and.
bridges improved, and its forthcoming
report will make better showing to it's
stockholders than they have ever seem
before. We do not know that it would
not be well if the Erie stockholders wereE
assessed in the same manner as the
Reading stockholders were. The con-
ditiOn of the property is such that an
immediate return on the money wouldi
be guaranteed.
Add to the foregoing facts the earn
ingS of all the railroads for the year,
the present condition and prospects OF
the Southern lines, the ending of the
telegraph war. the state of the coal
trade, the tendeny of national legisla-l
ton already clearly fOreshadowed, and
the condition of Europe, and we may be-
permitted to remark that the business,
situation is the most interesting that
has been known in this country since
1866. There is converse to this aspect
of affairs, and we know it and clearly
discern it. But no one takes any ac
count of it, and no one would listen to
lis however learnedly we might dis
course about it.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The Most Interesting Known in
This Country for Twenty Years.
New York sun.
Certain events have occurred as for
instance:
The Reading railroad has been taken
out of ruin and bankruptcy and rehabil-
itated. Instead of an annual deficit of
millions, it will next year begin the pay
ment of a dividend of 4 per cent per an
mum on its capital stock.
The Union Pacific railroad has been
converted from bankruptcy INTO -four
fishing property of great wealth and eX-
traOrdinaIy prospects. The veXed queS-
ton of its enormous debt to the govern
ment is substantially settled by the Pa
cific railroads commission, which Will
recommend the issue ola 3 per cent bond
for the amount, wise and equitable de-
termination of very disturbing and
embarrassing question. 1t Will leave the
road free and able to pay dividends to
its stockholders next year.
The Jersey Central railroad has been
rescued from bankruptcy, recognized.
and restored to the ranks of sound and
well conducted concerns.
The Northern Pacific railroad system
has undergone practical reorganiZa-
ton, and has passed into the control of
wise and conservative administration.
It's future may be measured by the de-
velopment of the territory it serves, a
method of estimate applicable now, as
in the past, to all Western railroads,
and unfaiiing in its accuracy.
The Pennsylvania railroad, after
few months experience of the interstate
commerce act, finds itself able to in
crease its dividends and has done SO.
The Baltimore q Ohio railroad has
passed out of the control of a foolish.
reckless and dangerous management
into the hands of one of the most COM
petent railroad men in the country,
backed by some of the strongest bust
ness interests in the country. 1t will
pay regular and earned dividends here
AFTER
eThe New York Central railroad, under
Mr. Depew'S direction, has just made
the best statement that it has issued i'll
ten years. We say this because we
have in mind the bookkeeping era that
preceded the late William III. Wander
bits sale of his stock, the subsequent
vicissitudes of the property. and its
slow but steady restoration up to date.
